CAMDEN, April 3d. The town of Glass
boro, this county, is much exercised over
the mysterious disappearance of the mem
bers of the firm of Gibbs & Wesley, shoe
manufacturers. Mr.. Gibbs started for New
York on Tuesday last, to purchase goods
and pay bills. He drew from the bank be-
fore starting 50, 700, leaving a deposit to
the compsny's credit of $1,000. Since
leaving he has not been heard Of He was
expected home next day. Wesley, the other
member of the firm who also acts in the
capacity of salesman, started in the early
part of the week for New England. Nothing
has been heard from him. Mr.. Arbuckle,
the superintendent of the factory, has been
paying the hands this week cut of his own
pocket. This morning, however, ihe hands
thinking there was something wrong, took
their tools and left the shop. Citizens of
the town are interested in the factory to
the extent of $4,000.

Mayor Cleveland has lowered the stand
ard of the Board of E ucation by the ap-
pointments he made yesterday. There is
not a schooled man anoDg these newly
named gentlemen who are to have control
of our school interests. One of them was,
indeed, under suspicion of being unable to
write his own name, but City Clerk Scott
informs us that he did subscribe his name,
unaided, to the oath of cface. Mr.. Benson
has not yet made up his mind whether he
will accept or not. To the others there are
no positive objections, and the community
will have to bear with them while it sees
what they do.

The movement made by Finance Com
missioner WARREN at a recent Meeting of
the Board of Finance for an expert ex-
aAination of the accounts of all the city
officials was timely and wise. We have
not the least idea that an expert examina-
ton will find any discrepancies in the
books, aud the examination will serve, we
Believe as we hope, only to place the ster-
ling honesty of our city officials in the
boIdsr public relief. Bat as matter of
precaution the examination should be
made. The experience Hoboken has had
with her financial agents should stand as
an eternal warning to all of the committees
in the county. 1t is mdny years since an
examination of the books of the city
officials has been attempted. Itshould be
made every year at least. 1t is at any rate
tiMe that it should be made now.

his move. The resolutions that endorsed

SUNDAY. MAY1. 1887.

The verdict that on Monday last saved
the n eek of white haired James Cavanagh
from the halt was mssn feent tribute to
the skill and elcquence of Hon. Allan L.
McDermo and of Messrs. Hoffman and
Herbert, who defended him The killing
of Patrick Hayden presented all the ele-
ments of murder in the first degree. It
was utterly inecusable and unprovoked,
and the reconciliation was shown in the
fact that the aged prisoner armed himself
with his pistol when he saw him pass the
window of his house, and followed him to
his saloon to- shoot him down without
word OF warning. A bare plea of insanity,
unmellowed by any sentiment that might
appeal to the sympathies of the Jurors, as
IAN excuse for SO cold-blooded crime,
must hsversesmed an inadequate defence
if it had not been enforced by lawyers of
genius. Thtrs is no doubt that the proofs
of Insanity went far towards saving the old
mans hfe. They were not strong enough
enough to acquit him; Lis lawyers probably
did not expect them to do it, but they
served to show low little indulgence of
liquor might have made the man the prey
to his unreasoning caprices and passions.
The jury probably read Cayanagh's mental
condition at the time of the murder in the
light of the injuries to his head, Of the de-
spon dency that followed the death of his
wife, and of the spree that began at the
Thanksgivings Eve ball which he attended.
and made up their minds that between
them all he was not in proper mental
frame to form an intelligent design to kill.
That relieved him of the conviction of muir
der in the first degree, for generalization is
of the very essence of murder of highest
degree. It is to be regretted that the plea
of drunkenness should have been accepted
by tie jury as in any sense mitigation of
his crime; but, as we have stated, the fact
Of drunkenness was not the only extenuat-
ing circumstance. The verdict is not an
sntirely satisfactory enc; but it is not an
entirely unsatisfactory one

bring upon his head by the acceptance of
the Board of Education Commissione1ship
which Mayor Cleve land yesterday placed
at bis disposal. Our eye IS not upon the
abuse that will be heaped upon him by the
men whom he has offended by his news
paper work. Every active newspaper man
has enemies by the scores and hundreds.
For their good opinion, or for their bad
opinion, he cares probal ly as little as we
dc. But there are others in the commun-
ity whose toes he has not trodden upon by
his journalistic work whose Judgment may
be worth taking into account. Mr.. Benson
might consult with some of these gentle
men before making up his mind. He
should at any rate take the subject into
prayerful consideration. For our part we
think that if Mr.. Benson discharges his
fall duty, as we know he does, to his in
teresting little family of children at home,
he is doing for the community about all it
can reasonably expect of him.

Disques neck from the halter, forgets the

the duty Of the minister to see that Justice

Why should the American farmer
live all the year on salt pork and fried

lections of my life is the longing had
to get into q city once in a while, so
that could get all the strawberries I
could eat. The average boy lives
great deal in his stomach. He has
hearty, unquestion appetite, and in
the spring and summer he eats with
out hesitation anything that is green.
It is an instinct of his nature, lie
needs the fruits for its juices, and the
right way to. keep him from green
stuff is to give him plenty Of
good, ripe fruit. In my boyhood
on the farm, rs above intimated. I
thought strawberries, raspberries,

ural, healthy appetite, if hegets tired

> The honors in the Philadelphia cir
cult have been almost wholly taken
by grandchildren OF the Mambrino
Patchen; they have won all, the best
races trotted east OF the Rocky
mountains this season. Maggie B., by
DR.. Herr (son Of Mambrino Patchen),
has made a clean sweep in the $50
class, always contending against g.
large field of fast ones, and she has
placed her mark at 2.22 IA. She is
considered one OF the most promising
green horses in this country.
In the 225 class Mcleod by Hem
phllps Patchen, son of Mambrino
Patchen, won, reducing his record to
2.21 IA in the second heat, and it is
a fact worthy of note that the con-
tending horse in this race, Lady Alert,
is by still another son Of Mambrino
Patchen, viz, Ma mbrino Lance. Not
withstanding the fact that the daugh-
tiers OF Mambrino Patchen constitute
the greatest family OF brood mares
yet produced, good judges believe the
sons in no wise inferior as producers
of speed, and the fact that one (Byerly
Abdallah) sired Jerome Turner, 2.15
l.4,.and another (Dr. Herr) sired Joe
Davis, PIT 81, goes to confirm this
view OF the matter.

Seed the Clearings.

My best pasture was never plowed.
1cut off the wood ten~years ago, sowed
bluegrass seed andharrowedit in, and
in two years it was fine grazing field.
I learned this in western New York,
where it was quite generally practiced
fifty years ago. 1t was wise practice,
too. Flowing through roots and dig.
glng out stumps is most expensive
when the land is left to grass it pays
its way often for twenty or thirty
years, even when dressed with little or
no manure. By this time the stumps
are easily picked out and burned,
while their ashes can be scattered over
the field and the pillow can cut through
the rotted roots. The first tillage is
in this way made easy.-Forty'nine,

Caution in Feeding Horses.

An extra heavy feed after pro-
tracted fast, so far from remedying
the waste of strength, only aggravates
the evil by overlooking the stomach
and thus interfering with digestion. A
careful owner of horses will study the
constitution of each animal in his ser.
vice and regulate it's food accordingly.
Horses which scour after watering
should only be given a small quantity
OF good water, but at more freque MT
intervals. Should this treatment not
succeed, a small portion of wheaton
meal may be mixed with the water.
Very often securing is the result OF an
irritable state of the bowels, caused
by Indigestion. In this case, if the
horse be otherwise in good health, a
mild purgative may be gwen, to be
followed by a dose OF oil.-The Farm

Time to Boil Vegetables.

Catherine Owen, in Good Housekeeping.
Potatoes, half an hour, unless
small, when rather less.
Peas and asparagus, twenty to
twenty-five minutes.
Cabbage and caulihower, twenty-five
minutes to half an hour.
String beans, if slit or sliced slant
wise and thin, twenty-five minutes; if
only snapped across, forty minutes.
Green corn. twenty to twenty-five
minutes.
Lima beans, if very young, half an
hour; old, forty to forty-five minutes.
Carrots and turnips, forty-fve min
utes when young, one hour in winter.
Beets, one hour in summer, one hour
and half, or ever two hours, if large,
in winter.
Onions, medium size, one hour.
Rule.-Ail vegetables to 60 into fast
boiling water to be quickly brought to
the boiling point again, not left to
sleep in the hot water before boiling,
which toughens them and destroys
color and flavor.
This timetable must always be reg
ulated by the hour at which the meat
will be done. If the meat should
have to wait five minutes for the vege-
tables, there would be a loss of pune
tuality, but the dinner will
not be damaged. But if
the vegetables are done, and
wait for the meat, your dinner will
certainly be much the worse; yet so
general is the custom of Overlooking
vegetables or putting them to cook in
a haphazard way, somewhere about
the time, that very many people
would not recognize, the damage.
They would very quickly see the SUI
periority Of vegetables cooked just the
right time, but would attribute it to
some snperiority in the article itself,
that they were fresher, and finer, not
knowing that the finest and freshest
of vegetables, improperly cooked, are
little better than the poor ones.

From the New York Times, e. ~ 3. Ia
A carpenter states that the custom.
OF removing the sashes and taking out
the windows in order to obtain more
perfect ventilation is becoming quite
general among those whom business
or choice keeps at home during the
summer weather. The inhabitants OF
the warm climates adapt their houses,
dress and habits to the exigencies OF
keeking cool, and consequently never.
suffer from the heat to the extent that
is generally supposed. BY obtaining
the fullest ventilation in the manner
stated, and by shading the windows,
our houses, SO admirably adapted to
the rigors Of the winter, can be made
quite comfortable these warm nights.
The custom of wearing the coat with
out the vest nables many gentlemen
to preserve cool temperature.

The Chicago Mail quotes a sensi

The Chicago Mail quotes a sensible
father as saying: mo, sir; when my
daughter is married there shall be no
big wedding if my counsel is OF any
weight" said. a prominent and
wealthy business man few days ago.
"My daughters future happiness is
dearer to me than my life, and for
that very reason object to big
wedding. Why did you ask? Sim
ply because big wedding means
dray load OF presents for her, and con-
sequently a burden of obligations
that will last her a lifetime. Only
little while ago q young lady was mar
ried in this city and at the ceremony
was the recipient OF 225 wedding gifts.
Think OF it, 225 obligations to begin
housekeeping on! Each one OF those 225
presents means an obligation which
will last not only during this generation
but the next and the next. Each CIV
er will either marry or have a daugh-
ter or q son or a granddaughter or a
niece or a nephew marry, and this
bride, with her 225 presents, will hear
of the wedding, and to be fair, will
have to send q present in return.
Some Of these presents, mayhaps,
come from a big family OF girls, one
present from the family. As each girl
is married of she will expect some
thing for the investment she collect
lively made at this 255 wedding, and
will be disappointed if she does not
get it. No, sir; / can make my daugh-
